We consider the following first order systems of mathematical physics.
1.The Dirac equation with scalar potential. 2.The Dirac equation with
electric potential. 3.The Dirac equation with pseudoscalar potential. 4.The
system describing non-linear force free magnetic fields or Beltrami fields with
nonconstant proportionality factor. 5.The Maxwell equations for slowly changing
media. 6.The static Maxwell system.
We show that all this variety of first order systems reduces to a single
quaternionic equation the analysis of which in its turn reduces to the solution
of a Schroedinger equation with biquaternionic potential. In some important
situations the biquaternionic potential can be diagonalized and converted into
scalar potentials.
